It can be. You take it once or twice, lower dose, seems like nothing. Seems like a chill little buzz that’s way better for you than pills or H or fentanyl. But it can grab you. It’s all about us. Kratom is just once drug in a bunch of other drugs that have the potential to cause harm. It’s just up to us to control our own body.

I know how you feel brother. I was heavily addicted for years! Feels like a lot of time wasted. Like I missed out on a lot! Like I trashed my health for years! Also, sometimes those coincidences that seem a little too perfect, like TH-cam recommending this video, happen for a reason my brother. 🙏

That’s it! Kratom isn’t the answer or solution. We’re looking for something else. God will test you for sure. We also must pursue him.

Thank you brother. Yes start it man. Your mind and body are telling you to quit, I’m sure. Make a little plan and start convincing yourself you don’t need it.

That’s awesome brother! I appreciate you! I love hearing these comments.

OK, you say you yourself wake up for years thinking about Kratom @0:46. So you certainly are addicted to Kratom.

So I am not addicted to Kratom. I am an alcoholic (medically diagnosed and been to rehab) and now I smoke weed as a substitute. I have searched out of curiosity for Kratom.

So me being and addict and this video convinced me to not do Kratom. I have my alcohol devils and they are enough.

I would definitely stray away from kratom. I have been addicted for sure! Something else I mention to people, is that weed isn’t a miracle and brings its own problems. It’s great that you recognized that you substituted the weed for the alcohol. I won’t tell anybody to never use anything. I can drink alcohol occasionally in a social setting, and it’s easy for me to put out down and not even get drunk. And I won’t drink anything for months. The opposite was true with kratom. I wanted that feeling 24/7! It was my God. The real problem isn’t the substances themselves. It’s the reasons why we’re using. I’m not an addiction expert, but I am an expert at quitting my own addiction. And the day I accepted the fact that I am in control, and I’m not a victim to a sickness called addiction, everything changed. Again, this is my personal experience. I just can’t follow any ideology that insists that I am a helpless victim to a disease.

Bro! That went away completely when I quit. Along with other things! I thought I was developing prostate issues. Nope, it was kratom.

I would go to church every Sunday and even serve on the team. And I felt like a huge hypocrite. Not in front of the people, but in front of God.

Exactly! Most of us don’t don’t how to stay down.

Yessir! Thank you for watching.

I can imagine! Believe I actually can! Lol. Rarely can people actually relate. I think that’s why we have a lot of camaraderie on this page.

Of course brother 🤜🤛

Now is the perfect time to quit. What have you done to quit?

@@StrongKeithJ I've tried cold turkey and I e tried tapering and even tried using gabapentin to help with withdrawals longest I've went clean is 12 days and even after 12 days I still felt awful. It's worse at night for me; my whole body becomes restless like you mentioned and I feel like I want to jump out of my skin. Going to try and start tapering again.

You must be very disciplined, and you’ll taper no problem. It’s good that you’re only at 20g a day and you don’t have to taper from 80g or something outrageous. This is very doable. Even if you drop one gram every 2 weeks. Or something else that’s manageable. Just remember the withdrawal symptoms.

I appreciate that brother! 🤜🤛 You’re so right

Thank God!

Right on brother! 🤜🤛

Everybody will have different challenges, but being in the right mental and physical state are key.

@@StrongKeithJ dude you are legend for working almost the entire time. I had to waste an entire vacation week to do this right. It was the worst and best vacation of my life cause now I’m free. Did you struggle with the head pressure, ringing ears and brain fog around the 11 day/2 week mark still? That’s probably my worst lingering issue and what’s keeping me up at night. Can’t wait for this to be all gone hahah 😵‍💫🫡

It was hard working bro. I’m not sure how I did it on the second day. I didn’t struggle with the head pressure or ears. Maybe I had it, and it was a very minor symptom. After the initial withdrawal, I struggled the most with insomnia and lethargy.

Just give it some time! Patience and good habits.

Cheers brother. It’s only going to get better. Granted, that’s if you develop good habits of course. That’s the key.

Thank you very much for your words. 🙏

Thank you! 🙏

Amen to that brother!

The time has definitely come. Take care of yourself first. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Do the work. Read your Bible. Exercise. Eat healthy. Then you can lead your family. You’re doing this at the perfect time! You’ll be in my prayers brother! Damn right you got this!

@@StrongKeithJ I appreciate the words brother. I will follow them and take the best care of myself that i can. August 4th will be my first day so don't be surprised if you hear me a lot around that time

That’s alright man. Flood my videos with comments!

I used almost strictly powder. There were a couple vacations that I used only capsules though for a few days. I would take about 15 capsules, 4 times a day. So 60 a day. That was probably the least. I’m sure I used more a couple days. I must also say that this amount wouldn’t get me that high either. Just a good head change and no withdrawals. On a daily basis I used between 60g-80g of powder a day though. Sometimes throwing an extract shot in there.

Yeah it will slowly start killing a lot brother. Libido is huge in a relationship though. Kratom didn’t get you off alcohol, you did my brother. You put the work in.

@StrongKeithJ You are absolutely right. The kratom didn't get me off alcohol, but actually, it was me. I make a daily decision not to drink. Thanks for reminding me of that fact 😎

🤜🤛 I got you brother!

I’m going to use that! Play the whole tape! Amen to that!

I’m not sure exactly when my stomach got better. But I had diarrhea for a long time. Very sensitive stomach. I had pure liquid for probably 2-3 weeks. Maybe longer. Then anything would upset my stomach and I would have diarrhea. I want to say it to a few months bro tbh. I just stayed hydrated and drank electrolytes everyday. That’s all we can do is embrace the symptoms, and convince ourselves we’ll get better. New issues might pop up but we’ll handle those the same way we handled everything else!

Thank you very much for your words bro. I’m glad the videos have helped. Hold out on the kratom. Maybe you’ll hear something you need to hear. 🤜🤛

I will touch on this tomorrow for sure! I got you my sister! 🤜🤛

@StrongKeithJ thank you man..God bless you and your family..I have a fam too that I love and want to be present for. I have linked Kratom with my productivity that's how I used to use so my getting things done has been hard but it's getting better..how about you with that? Great work man

I’m glad you’re learning how to overcome everything! It is hard, but necessary! Being productive has always been kind of a struggle. I have the tendency to procrastinate. Procrastination seems to be my biggest killer of productivity. Building good habits is the key for me. A schedule. Writing down tasks the day before or the morning of.

Thank you very much! I’ll post something tomorrow for sure! 🤜🤛

Yes almost a year my brother. 11 months to be exact. I will drop something tomorrow for sure! Thank you for the thoughts and prayers 🙏🤜🤛

That’s what I’m talking about! Thanks for watching brother! Keep me posted on your progress! 🤜🤛

Amen to that! You’re already crushing it brother! Keep me posted!

I agree! They make it seem like you’re constantly fighting the disease. I simply don’t agree.

@@StrongKeithJ calling it a disease is a little stigmatizing. Fooling ourselves is something everyone does in one area or another

Very true

I think you’re probably right!

I got sick and had a cough for so long!!

@@StrongKeithJit’s the worst! Working with a lingering horrific cough does not build confidence in clients.

At all!!

Facts!

@@StrongKeithJ yep it made me super dull and numb to life its not a miracle

Not a miracle at all! Out did some serious damage!

You will be in my prayers brother! Please keep me posted! Accept the fact that it will be hard! It won’t be easy! But I know you’re strong. Ask for wisdom and strength, and show gratitude for what you have in your prayers. This is what has helped me! Please keep me posted! I love hearing the stories! 🤜🤛

I’m in a Honolulu hotel right now getting ready to move to San Diego, I’m at Day 21 man. Although the acutes are gone completely, my sleep and RLS are still insane dude. I’ll clear the air and just tell you I’m an active duty Marine. I’ve had to move my entire life across the Pacific while under withdrawal. It feels impossible man. Ive been having drinks throughout the day here at the airport to combat the stress, but I am still not on planet earth. Still struggling hard brother. This shit ain’t no game. I’m still pushing everyday. Just trying to put one foot in front of the other. Although I am miles better than what I was, I am still not myself, it always feels like somethings missing. Much love Keith. Stay Strong Brother.

Also I thought it would be funny to add, I’m in Honolulu with an ocean view, with all the drinks and sun I could ask for.. but I am STILL miserable. I sit by the pool and look pissed off, in Hawaii 😂 all thanks to Kratom man

I bet that’s rough brother! I can’t imagine! You’re doing it though! My brother is a Marine. He’s stationed at 29 Palms right now! A lot of respect for you guys!

Restless legs was the killer for me! I felt it from the bottom of my feet up to my neck. It was the worst in my spine.

I hear that brother! I had to do some soul searching I guess, and realize I had some internal issues. Once I dealt with those, I’m actually continually working on them, I don’t feel the need to rush to get high when I’m already happy. Lots of prayer and gratitude. I say thank you lord, I’m content and thankful for everything I have. That has helped me immensely.

That’s great advice!

Hey you’re on the right path! I think that’s awesome! Keep going! 🤜🤛

Thank you brother. God bless you! It feels so good to be free of the K!

I hear you brother! That’s awesome though! Yes I’m definitely up for a collab! Shoot me an email. K96581221@gmail.com

Thank you brother! I’m glad I can help!

Our brains are slow af for a while!
